JAMES P. ADAMSO'N, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.

WALL- RADIATOIL BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented @ct. 26, 19th.

Application filed February 9, 1915. Serial No. 7,164.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JAMES P. ADAMSON, citizenof the United States, resident of St. Paul, county of Ramsey, State ofMinnesota, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements inVail-Radiator Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention vis to provide a support for a wall radiatorwhich will allow the convenient vertical adjustment thereof to thedesired location on the wall and the proper distance from the floorline.

A further object is to provide a bracket having improved means forsecuring it to the wall and to the radiator.

The invention consists generally in various constructions andcombinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed outin the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figurel is a front ,elevation of a wall radiator, embodyingmy invention, Fig.2 is a vertical sectional view of the same, Fig. 3 is a front view of awall bracket, Fig. 4: is a sectional view on the line w-w of Fig 3, Fig5 is a sectional view on the line y;1 of Fig. 2.

In the drawing, 2 represents a wall of the room on which the radiator ismounted, and 3 a wall radiator of ordinary construction.

4 is a bracket, made of suitable material and having a flat rear face 5to bear on the wall 2 above the base board 6. At the lower end of thebracket, near the top of the base board, an outwardly projecting bend 7is formed, terminating in a stirrup 8 in which the lower end of theradiator is seated at a suitable distance above the floor line. At thetop of the bracket is an outwardly and upwardly turned arm 9 having atransverse slot 10 therein to receive a bolt 11. having a washer andlock nut at its inner end and a tapered nut 12 at its outer end that isseated against the wall of the adjacent radiator sections. This bolt iscapable of laterai adjustment in the slot in the bracket to adapt it toits seat on the sections of the radiator.

At the upper and lower portions oi? the mid dle section of the bracket Iprovide longitudinal slots 13 having outer fiat, roughened or corrugatedsurfaces 14 to engage the corresponding surfaces of washers 15 which aremounted on lag screws or bolts 16 inserted into the slots 13 and intothe wall in the rear of the bracket. By loosening these lag screws orboits, the bracket can be adjusted in elevation for drainage purposes.

vertically to adapt it for the desired elevation of the radiator andwhen once the bolts are tightened there will be no danger of slippingout of place. As indicated in Fig. 1, the heads of the bolts areaccessible between the sections of the radiator for tightening orloosening them, as occasion may re quire.

In using my invention, the brackets for a series of radiators on oneline may be secured to the wall and the radiators mounted thereon andthen, by loosening the bolts or lag screws slightly, the brackets can beraised or lowered to obtain the requisite difference As soon as theradiators are adjustedat the de sired'distance from the floor line, thebolts are tightened and the brackets held firmly in position on thewall.

The brackets may be made in different sizes, according to the style andsize of the radiator used, and in various ways the details ofconstruction may be modified and still. be within the scope of myinvention.

1 claim as my invention:

1. The combination, with a wall radiator, of a bracket having a middleportion provided with a surface adapted to be seated against the wall ofthe room on which the radiator is suspended, the lower end of saidbracket having a stirrup in which the radidti ator is seated, the upperend of the bracket having means for securing it to the radiatorsections, said middle portion having vertical slots therein and said.bracket having roughened surfaces around. said slots and bolts andhaving washers provided with roughened surfaces to engage thecorresponding surfaces around. said slots, said bolts, when. loosened,allowing vertical adjustment of the bracket thereon.

2. A wall radiator bracket having a middle portion adapted to be seatedagainst the wall above the base board and provided with a stirrup at itslower end in which the lower end of the radiator is seated, and an out--wardly projecting upper end having means for securing it to the top ofthe radiator, said i'niddle portion having longitudinal slots thereinand bolts fitting within said slots for securing said bracket to saidwall. said bolts, when loosened, allowing vertical adjustment of saidbracket to raise or lower the radiator to vary its distance from thefloor line, for the purpose specified.
